French New Wave director Godard's film "Anything You Want". It is still the queen actress Anna Karina. The close-up of Anna's frontal profile at the beginning of the movie "Do whatever you want" is so beautiful.. "I lent myself to others but buried my head in myself".

At the end, the protagonist was shot tragically, and everything will eventually come to nothing is the tone of the film of this period.

Vivre Sa Vie quotes

  • The Philosopher: Do you know anyone who knows right off what he loves? No. When you're 20, you don't know. All you know are bits and pieces. You grasp at experience. At that age, "I love" is a mixture of many things. To be completely at one with what you love takes maturity. That means searching. That's the truth of life.

  • Jeune homme: I'd like to go to the Louvre.

    Nana: No, I don't like looking at paintings.

    Jeune homme: Why? Art and beauty are life!

    Nana: I adore you.
